up 6 per cent during 1958.
“Inflation is the biggést single . will soon be undertaken by the
factor responsible for price increases,” Rozzoni asserts. “Inflation does not raise vaues of the
commodity—all it does is lower
the dollar’s purchasing value. The
more we devaluate the dollar the
the more prices go up. If consSumers are really concerned about
these things which affect their
family income, then they should
direct more attention to government and demand of those they
elected that the budget be balanced—because therein lies the
reason for higher prices.
“Largely due to higher volume
prouction,\ increased efficiency by
all the i try but especially by
the farmer, and by teamwork
among producers, processors and
distributors, the ‘take’ for food
from the. average family income
has been held to around 25 per
cent—just about the same proportion that it was 10° or 20
years ago. However, the consumer now gets a great deal more
for his dollar in such special services as ready-mixed, pre-cooked
and frozen packaged foods.
“Of course, there were other
factors responsible for increased
food prices during 1958. The long
period of drought reduced beef
production;‘and a shortage of
beef. created higher prices.
Weather and other conditions
caused the moderate rise in prices
for fruits and some fresh vegetables. But despite the increased
cost to the housewife, the farmer
on the average gets but 39 cents
of the dollar she spends for food.
The exact amount varies, naturally with the product.
" “Of the highly processed foods,
many are either ready for the
oven or ready to serve—such as
canned fruits—and net the farmers the smallest return percentage wise. As an example, a pound
loaf of ‘bread costs the consumer
approximately 24 cents. The
wheat farmer gets 3.2 cents, with
the balance going for other ingredients, milling, baking, wrapping, transportation, distributing,
plus a variety of taxes. At the
other extreme, the farmer’s share
of the price of a dozen eggs’ is
about 67 per cent.
“As technology improves, consumer demands on the food industry for higher nutritional values, .
greater sanitation, higher quaity,
better taste, more time saving
services and merchandises appeal,
are being met and at times even
anticipated by the industry. It is
probable that fulfillment of these
demands wil tend to further reduce the farmer’s share of the
consumer’s dollar rather than inlegislative measures which will

Agriculture has found itself in

existence in fields which are not
normally connected with the industry. Some of the toughest
battles have been in the labor
field, where the farmers have
been fighting against the imposition of a minimum wage, unemployment insurance, and other socalled. “labor reforms.” Farmers
throughout the state have been
vitally concerned with these issues, and have urgently communicated with their legislators.

WATER
Perhaps the most outstanding
construction of water projects

areas of surplus to the areas of
deficiency. In addition, a_ bill

. Plan, a flexible guidepost for the
future develpoment of all Caifornia water, has started on its
journey through the legislative
processes. :
The question of a constitutional
amendment to guarantee the

rough sledding. Several proposals
